It’s easy to go out to your local fish store and simply buy fish. Anyone can do that.

What most people can’t or won’t do is set out on the open waves of the ocean and do some actual fishing. But it just so happens, that’s where the freshest fish are caught.

“Umm… excuse me Wall Street Survivor. I didn’t come here to learn about fishing.”

Oh, but you did. See, small cap investing is a lot like heading out into the unpredictable and treacherous waters of the ocean. Albeit a little dryer.

Small cap investing involves a good amount of risk. You’re putting your money into relatively small companies, often with uncertain futures. But, just like the big taste you’d get from that ocean-caught fish, these early-stage companies could lead to big returns.

And I’m still not done justifying this analogy:

Most people will head out to a popular market or grocery store to buy their fish, because they know what they’re getting. Same goes for stocks. Most investors put their money in big, stable companies because they’ve got a better handle on the potential returns they’ll receive.

But if you’ve got what it takes to handle the deep-sea waters of small-cap trading, then you’ve come to the right place.

As the saying goes: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Let’s go fishing…
